I love this video so much because it's just a bunch of Belgians dancing with themselves having fun. They all look so serious and happy, no one is embarrassed. What a beautiful, fun video, I love it.
Every morning I get to work, open my documents and programs, and at around 10am I pull up RU-vid and click Cherry Moon on Valium in "Recently Watched".

this is steve from haptic synapses. This is maybe one of my favorite pieces of culture ever. I wasn't in this scene, but I was in one that was like it, on another part of the world. This may have been a couple of years after I stopped actively participating. But I still love it because I get why this is so amazing. This is slowed down from what it was actually recorded at. And it sounds *great*. The bass is lower and deeper. You can appreciate the relatively funky rhythms, when that funk was harder to process when it was faster and higher. Then it's also this iconic snapshot in time of a very well curated collection of in-context songs. They're so similar in some ways, and so waaay far out in others. But they all go together beautifully. The mixing is excellently cut. Then let's talk about the artwork! And the dancers! This combination of lovingly captured album artwork and the people who appreciated the music is, very good. Very creative and fun to watch. Then you remember how fast it actually was. :D My most humble thanks for an amazing piece of art. It must have been a hell of a project, but it was so worth it.
I haven’t been this excited since I first heard the Bloody Beetroots in like 2010 and I had this ghetto playlist with like 60 of their songs and from there found justice and a bunch of other dope artists
So surreal slowed down like this. wow. and that slow-mo euro-white krump we never saw in the Brooklyn hardcore/gabber scene, hakken never made it here as far as I saw. just now finding this in 2022. better late than never.
this mix is kinda ironic when you remember that the original idea with belgium 'new beat' techno was slowing acid house records right down - before it started morphing into crazy fast gabber. shoulda just stuck with the tempo they were working at originally as it sounds fucking amazing like this
This is how Stephen and Dave became DJ's too through their Belgian network of music and their father a famous DJ too I'd love to meet those two and tell them they are legends for bringing this to my attention! Well not just attention but my whole life!
Y U NOT GIVE DESCRIPTION?! Even though these Belgian records sound very "now", they are actually 20 years old and were meant to be played at a much, much faster speed. At the time this was the devil's music for us, but we have learned to listen through the claps and distorted kicks and discovered that if you slow these really dark and heavy techno records down all the way to about 115 bpm, it suddenly makes them sound less frantic,ballsier and a lot sexier.Belgium at its best when pitched down.
I wish the quality of the songs were higher and we could be able to find each track on this mixed versions. Such a beautiful mix I've been listening this set each year twice since 2014... Thank you Soulwax for this timeless set.
I dunno why I find the guy at 16:02 so hilarious... Its like he's been waiting all this time to just unload when his tune comes on. Love it, love him! ♥
Straight up one of the best videos on RU-vid. I consistently share this with people yearly, and brighten their lives with it. It never fails to make me smile.

A couple things: first, you *can* play the music at the faster speed (as the description alludes to), just by playing the video faster. Second is an *aha* moment! I've already suspected that the dancing letters on Radio Soulwax's Chicago House Music video were rotoscoped from human dancers. I think we just found the missing link. These were probably the dancers.

One of the best mixes out there, coupled with the best Gopnik dancing you're likely to ever see. ❤️ This rivals 2manyDjs Radio Soulwax Part 7......and that's saying something!
I love this video. It is like a cultural record. These people are dancing their hearts out! And the music rules. I love that one shorter guy with the slicked back hair who has that signature move with his hands and feet shuffling. I have tried to recreate it and failed. (He shows up a few times, most notably at 25:27) LOL
This is so plain awesome! This can music can go on repeat, and with the dancers, even though it might be slowed.. it look just brilliant! This is dance moves at its best!
